Randolph, who followed up, received the pass, jumped up hard, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

At the same time, Haywood, who had just reached the free throw line, shook his head helplessly. The Warriors' running and gunning was too torturous for the big center.

Kidd came to the baseline to receive the serve, and dribbled forward slowly, giving his teammates time to run to the frontcourt and get into position.

In this round, the Mavericks used a double-cover tactic. Terry stepped out of the three-point line, received a pass from Kidd, and hit a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, Curry used Sun Yi's screen to hit a three-pointer and responded with a goal.

In the subsequent games, both sides showed their talents and took the lead alternately, with no one taking advantage.

After the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 22 to 24, with the Mavericks leading by 2 points.

Not long after, the inter-section break ended and the second quarter began.

During the second quarter rotation, the Mavericks were no match for the Warriors.

Barea and Caron Butler did not use their strong scoring abilities, but instead exposed their poor defense.

The Warriors seized the opportunity and, under the leadership of Sun Yi, overtook the score in one fell swoop.

On the Mavericks bench, Carlisle saw this situation and immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing Kidd, Nowitzki and others on the court to stabilize the situation.

After the substitution adjustment, the effect was good. Nowitzki hit mid-range jumpers one after another to stabilize the situation on the court.

Seeing this situation, Nelson sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not rush to make substitutions.

On the court, Sun Yi hit the basket and caused Nowitzki's foul, resulting in two free throws.

Under the boos of the fans in the audience, Sun Yi stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and without being affected by the outside world, made two free throws steadily.

In the next few rounds, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped, and the baskets were banging.

When the game lasted about 5 minutes in the second quarter, Nelson gradually replaced Curry and other main players.

Curry, who was full of energy, ran all over the court and launched a run and gun attack as soon as he came on the court.

As a veteran, Kidd didn't have much gas in the tank. In addition, he played for a long time without rest, and his physical strength was running low.

In this case, he simply cannot keep up with Curry's speed.

After the elementary school student got rid of Kidd through his movement, he received a pass from Sun Yi and hit an open three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks made a pass error and was intercepted by Sun Yi.

The Warriors launched a defensive counterattack, and Maggette took the lead and rushed into the penalty area. After receiving the pass, he easily made a layup.

Seeing that the score was about to be extended, the Mavericks began to attack around Terry.

But unfortunately, Terry's touch was not good in this game, and he failed to make several shots that he was sure of before.

The Warriors took advantage of the Mavericks' offense to be paralyzed and used the "elevator door" tactic, allowing Curry, Ellis and others to hit three-pointers from the outside one after another, further widening the point difference.

The Mavericks made quick adjustments, and Nowitzki hit consecutive turn-over jumpers to stabilize the situation on the court.

At the end of the half, the score was 56 to 46, and the Warriors led by 10 points entering the second half.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.

On the first play, Nowitzki made a sudden shot from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to single digits.

The Warriors responded quickly. Sun Yi got rid of Nowitzki's defense by running back, rushed into the penalty area, received Curry's alley-oop pass, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, the Warriors opened up the penalty area and created breakthrough conditions for Curry and Ellis. The effect was very good, once again widening the point difference.

The Mavericks wanted to chase points, but their outside three-pointers were not strong and they hit the ball one after another. At the same time, Nowitzki made consecutive mistakes when Sun Yi cut the ball, missing the opportunity to chase points.

The Warriors launched a quick counterattack and scored consecutively in the transitional attack phase to continue to widen the point difference.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors had opened the point difference to more than 20 points.

Not long after, the fourth quarter started.

Maybe having too much of a lead caused the Warriors players to relax their vigilance and start shooting wildly.

Nowitzki and Terry felt better and took this opportunity to quickly catch up with the score.

Nelson saw the situation on the court and immediately requested a timeout.

After the Warriors players returned to the bench, Nelson severely criticized some players and issued a shocking warning.

After returning from the timeout, the Warriors played steadily and did not continue to make waves, steadily controlling the rhythm of the game on the court.

The Mavericks fought back time and time again, but were suppressed by the Warriors.

As the harsh buzzer sounded, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 115-101.

In terms of statistics, Curry won the honor of the best player of the game.

In the 40 minutes he played, he made 7 of 12 three-pointers and scored 31 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

Sun Yi devoted all his energy to defending Nowitzki and organizing offense, and his statistics were mediocre.

In the 42 minutes he played, he scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 14 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

In addition, three Warriors players scored in double figures.

Ellis had 23 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal; Maggette had 10 points and 5 rebounds; Morrow had 12 points and 2 assists.

For the Mavericks, the most outstanding player is Nowitzki.

In the 42 minutes he played, he scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

King Nuo's statistics seem to be very good, but his true shooting percentage is only 37.5%. This is a high number of shots in exchange for points.

After the game, the Mavericks players walked back to the locker room extremely frustrated.

The Warriors players put their arms around each other and walked towards the locker room laughing happily.

It can be seen that the mentality of the two teams at this time is completely different.

After this game, the Warriors returned to Oakland with a total score of 2-0.
